Our Election Priorities


VIRGINIA STATE GENERAL ELECTION: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH, 2025

Virginia is one of only two states which hold their major statewide elections in odd years. The other is New Jersey, which is reliably blue. Since Virginia is a purple state, its odd-year elections are widely seen as a predictor of the relative strength of the two Parties in advance of the all-important midterms the following year. Given this pattern, a BIG win for Virginia this year is hugely important on many levels. Early voting starts on September 19 so our work in August will pay big dividends!
